SmartyPants Vitamin Review & Giveaway

Picture

I'm horrible about taking vitamins. Since i'm not a big breakfast person and never been able to take a multivitamin without eating something, I alway forget to take them. Without food, no vitamin will stay in my stomach long or I get clammy and sick feeling. Not with SmartyPants, I can take these any time of the day and I am fine, no food needed. 
So the bottle of my SmartyPants Adult Complete and Fiber sites on my bathroom counter, after my shower I take 3 of these yummy gummies. 
It's like having a sweet & sour morning snack =)

Against the Grain Pet Food Review

Picture

As you can see I had already opened the 100% Chicken NOTHING ELSE canned food for my pictures. My girls go nuts when they see these cans. Every night along with their dry dog food I give them 2 spoons full of Against the Grain canned food, usually just the 100% Chicken, it seems to be their favorite. They know it's dinner time when the can comes out of the fridge, usually around 5pm. I love feeding them a food that I know is safe and made with NOTHING ELSE just what it states on the can 100% Chicken. 
This food is a loaf in gravy, All of the NOTHING ELSE foods come like this and my girls love it. 
Even my two cats enjoy their Against the Grain canned food. It comes in smaller cans that I open and split into two dishes. I don't think they have a favorite since they eat anyone I put out.  My cats get dry food, that is out all day for them to enjoy, the can food is just a night thing when I feed the dogs so they don't feel left out. 
This is Duncan, he's enjoying his Against the Grain Tuna Toscano.
It's Totally Different!
Wild ocean-caught tuna fish, salmon, and tomatoes are hand packed and a hand-selected blend of unique proteins and superfoods to serve your cat a tasty, Italian-style healthy and palatable complete and balanced dinner.

Evanger's Food For Dogs & Cats Review

Healthy Food Makes Healthy Pets!
No additives, no artificial preservatives. Just happy foods.

I'm very picky about what I feed my dogs. Food & Treats. 
I always trust Evanger's for both. There's no soy, corn, wheat, artificial ingredients, preservatives, harmful additives or by-products added. Also Evanger's is the only family-owned and operated pet food cannery in the United States
One of my dogs and I have 3 favorite Evanger's treats is Beef Liver, they are freeze dried treats that don't smell and are not overly dry. The dogs love them. You can also give these to your cats. Mine love them. 
Ingredients,,,,,,,, Beef Liver, nothing more. 
Evanger's Nothing But Natural Grain-Free Beef Liver Freeze Dried Dog Food
Since its creation by Dr. Fred Evanger in 1935, Evanger?s Food for Dogs and Cats has been using high quality, wholesome ingredients to make delicious and nutritious human-grade pet foods. Evanger's is the choice of top handlers, breeders and conscientious pet owners.
Evanger's Nothing but Natural Freeze-Dried Beef Liver for Dogs and Cats is a scrumptious treat for pets, especially for those with picky palates or food sensitivities. This nutrient-dense, gently dehydrated raw 100% beef liver food is perfect for a treat, a training reward or a food topper. Evanger's Nothing but Natural Freeze-Dried Beef Liver for Dogs and Cats can be rehydrated in warm water for 3-5 minutes to make a delicious snack.
I have been feeding my dogs Evanger's Grain-Free Chicken Complete Balanced Diet food for quite some time. They love it and I love that it's made from all natural ingredients and made here in the USA. 

Evanger's Grain Free Chicken, Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Dry Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages. Puppies, pregnant and nursing dogs may require 2-3 times above amounts, and reduced for less active or older dogs. Amount of food your dog requires depends on activity, age, environment and breed.

You can purchase this flavor and others from Evanger's in numerous size bags. Since I have three small dogs I just buy the 16.5 # bag, it lasts for quite some time. 
Evanger’s dry dog foods are manufactured in the USA, and contain no by-products or harmful additives.  Evanger’s uses the Alltech Advantage for optimal health. Our semi-moist dehyrdrated food consists of only rough grinding and mixing. Then, the product is air dried at low temperatures to retain all of the nutrients, enzymes, and flavor.

International Veterinary Sciences Arthramine & Lipiderm Review

Healthier. Happier. More Active Pets.

Picture

Arthramine® Bone & Joint Care
I've been giving my two, now three dogs Arthramine for over a year now. 
I started giving this to them since I have a mini dachshund, I worry about her and back issues. My dogs won't just chew up the pill so I crush one up in each of their dog bowls (along with lipiderm) with their food a a little warm water. They all three get one this way. 

Arthramine is an all natural canine supplement which promotes joint health and functions while helping to build, protect, and repair cartilage.

Glucosamine

  • Chondroitin
  • Hyaluronic Acid
  • Omega 3 Fatty Acid
  • Manganese

  • MSM​​
Lipiderm® Skin & Coat Care
Our Shih Tzu used to itch all the time, the last few months we have been using Lipiderm 
for her and the other two (both dachshunds)
We have noticed Jacky, itches less and bites on her feet less. I really think this is working and will continue to use it daily in all 3 dogs food.

  • Large dog: 60, 120 soft gels
  • Small dog: 60, 180, 500 soft gels

Ring in the New Year with Brooklyn Crafted Ginger Beer

Unique among ginger beers, it's made with fresh ginger and pure cane sugar & all our flavors start with this deliciously simple formula. Unfiltered, with tiny ginger particles, and shaken slightly before pouring, it has the adult "mouth feel" of a beer or wine.

Brooklyn Ginger Beer comes in the following flavors

SmartyKat Review

Cats love to play and scratch, SmartyKat has some
wonderful items to help with both and more. 
From Play, Scratch, Wellness, Retreat, Litter & Hygiene. 
My cats love SmartyKat Scratch pads. Katy our older cat uses it daily. Duncan the younger cat uses it from time to time but more thinks it's an area to sit. Katy has always been more of a scratcher but never furniture, she has always used a scratch pad or post. SmartyKat has a wide variety of Scratch Pads & Posts to choose from. Some are made of cardboard boxes that are lower in price and can just be thrown out when scratched up where others are a little more expensive and made from wood and carpet. My cats both prefer the cardboard box type scratch pads. 
Katy just didn't understand the Happy Hammock from SmartyKat. she tried, but failed every time. Maybe she's just to big. I even added some catnip, that's what she got all over her back foot in the below picture. So I am saving the Happy Hammock for my sons girlfriends cat. She has a smaller younger cat that hopefully will enjoy the
Happy Hammock.

Hear Doggy! Dog Toys Don't forget your pets this holiday season

Picture

We went from two dogs for the past 6 years to now 3, only two in my pictures other wasn't in our family yet when this was taken...About a week ago we adopted the new (7 year old) mini dachshund, Maddie. She actually likes toys,
unlike Jacky the Shih Tzu.
So now we have two dogs running around like wild animals squeaking toys. Sometimes it gets overwhelming. 
That's why I love Hear Doggy! They can hear the squeak but we can't. Plus the toys are good quality and they can't tear them to pieces as quick. 
The girls love all their new Hear Doggy! toys.
The cow is Molly's favorite, she always has it in her new bed, Maddie likes the pig. She keeps it under the couch corner, I think that's her way of telling Molly to leave it alone, it's hers. 
​Hear Doggy! toys give your pet the same sensation and enjoyment of traditional squeaky toys without the irritating noise!
 The science behind Hear Doggy!: Dogs can hear sounds at a higher frequency (0 to 45KHz) than humans (0 to 20 KHz). Tuned to an ultrasonic range in the 24-28 KHz frequency, each Hear Doggy! squeaker is out of human hearing range, but still fun for your four-legged friend.
These sturdy characters are made with Chew Guard Technology™ a manufacturing process that adds a tough, durable liner to every toy. The reinforced seams and specially engineered lining  were made to withstand the rigors of a dog's play. Dogs are tough but Chew Guard™ is tougher!
Hear Doggy! toys comes in two styles, Plush & Flats. 
I like the Flats since when they do finally tear them open there's no stuffing in the body. 
Molly of course prefers the Plush, since she prefers to make my house a mess with stuffing all over the place. 
The difference is of course, Plush has stuffing and comes in two sizes. Flats have no stuffing and come in one size. 
Both comes with Chew Guard. 
You can buy either online from the following store or find them
​Petco, Petsmart or Pet Food Express.

We just make it plain and add our Kernel Season's that way you can have whatever flavor you want. The savory season's are my favorite. Each flavor add's the perfect pop to your popcorn. 
The Savory Kernel Season's include:

Picture

White Cheddar
IS THE NINJA OF FLAVORSYou can’t see it on popcorn, but it delivers a big, tangy real cheese punch.
Dill Pickle
(my favorite)
DIAL UP THE DILLLike the pickles you love, our Dill Pickle seasoning combines real dill with the tanginess of vinegar for a new twist on a classic flavor.
Butter
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH BUTTER Our Butter seasoning tastes like real                                                                         butter because it’s made with real creamery butter. Go ahead, shake it on.

Sour Cream & Onion
BE COOL
The cool, creamy taste of sour cream meets the zing of real onion for your popcorn. It’s not just for chips anymore.
Ranch
(2nd favorite)
SKIP THE RANCH-FLAVORED CHIPSInstead, shake our Ranch seasoning on your popcorn for the taste of creamy real buttermilk and zesty spices you love.

Garlic Parmesan
                       VIVA L'ITALIA!                                                                                                                                                                                                               Made with real cheese and garlic,
                                                                                ​this classic combination brings the taste of Italy to your popcorn.

Kernel Season's make perfect stocking stuffers or add into a popcorn related gift basket. 

Last year I took a bunch of Kernel Season's popcorn seasons, the large popcorn buckets shown in my first picture and tons of different sizes of microwave popcorns along with some movie rental gift cards and made gift boxes for all my clients. They loved them and loved the flavors I picked out for them. Easy, fast and thoughtful.

The spices were so pronounced and pure, the dish turned out excellent. I will never go back to my old spices. Obviously PURE spices are better. 

Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)
This recipe is paleo friendly, gluten-free and Whole30® compliant.

Serves 4 

  • 1 lb chicken, cut in to bite sized pieces
  • 3 TBSP Pure Indian Foods ghee
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt (or substitute coconut cream)

From this kit:

  • 2 tsp Indian Five Spice
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp ginger

Cut chicken into pieces and rub coriander, garam masala, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne into meat. Set aside. Heat ghee on medium heat in a large pan. Add Indian Five Spice, and fry until it starts to pop. Cover the pan to prevent splattering. Add chopped tomatoes, onions, and garlic, and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and stir for 2 minutes. Add yogurt, cover, and simmer for 50 minutes, or until oil separates. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and a sprinkle of garam masala before serving.

Sky Scratch

This tall carpeted and rope scratcher is perfect for cats big and small. If they can stretch to the top there's a feather and ribbon toy waiting for them. 
The lower rope scratch area is perfect for deep scratching, Our older cat Katy loves the rope area, she never reaches up to the carpet. Yet our younger cat Duncan only scratches the carpeted area. Neither seem to care about the ribbon/feather on the top but my mini daschund does, She will stand by the scratcher barking until I lift her to see the feather. I think she wishes it was one of her dog toys. 

The base of the Sky Scratch is sturdy and also carpeted with a flat darker grey carpet. The rope is off white and the top carpet is thicker and a lighter grey. All very neutral and would look fine sitting in a living room, bedroom or
any room in your house. 

Perfect way for your cats to scratch without using your furniture as the scratcher.

Holiday Gift Giving ~ Jack Franklin Ties                                  Review, Discount Code & Giveaway

Excellent deal, pick up a tie for every guy on your Holiday Gift List. Ties make perfect stocking stuffers. 
Picture

Jack Franklin sells some really nice ties that range from $5 to $25 all are very high quality and look great on a perfect way for a man to make their outfit complete. 
Jack Franklin Ties was born after years of paying too much for high-quality ties.  As good as a nice silk tie that holds a nice thick knot is, no necktie is worth 100 to 200 dollars.  What's worse, most ties under $50 seem to skimp on the small details that turn a piece of neckwear into something you can be proud to wear.
Jack Franklin's goal is to provide the highest quality ties at the lowest possible cost. 
They also only carry the best designs, so we don't have to raise margins to make-up for poor selling ties. 
Picture
​Not all ties are created equally. Anyone who has worn a $150 tie knows the difference texture, silk quality and thickness make in how the knot ties, how it hangs, and how it looks on the suit. Most expensive ties aren't over $100 because of the tie itself, but because of the real estate a store costs, brand ego that adds to the price, and margins designed to make up for other items.
I don't have any of that. Here's what I do have: 

  • Silk - 100% of the highest quality silk
  • Woven ties - An added layer of quality which adds texture to the designs
  • Italian weavers - only the finest ties are made on the finest Italian weavers
  • Wool interlining - a good tie is defined by its weight. All Jack Franklin ties contain an extra layer of wool interlining
  • Hand sewn - need I say more?
All Jack Franklin ties use the finest silk available. They are then run through Italian weavers to ensure the best quality fabric and just the right texture. You'll notice in all of our close-up pictures
​the texture that these weavers create.
The ties are given wool interlining, adding a layer of thickness that helps tie a beautiful knot. The ties are all hand-sewn for ultimate quality and perfection.

Holiday Gift Giving ~ Cave Tools Salad Spinner Review plus 15% Off Code

Cave Tools sells the best Salad Spinner I have ever owned. I make salad every night but hate all the water left on the lettuce and veggies after washing. It just waters down the dressing making the salad taste bland and boring. I have purchased a few salad spinners in the past and non were this nice or spun this fast, pretty much drying the lettuce. I save leftover salad in this spinner and use it again the next day. Or you can use the plastic bowl to serve your salad in. Very good quality, locking lid and fast spinning with the turn of the knob.

Pet Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ California Canine

​Jacky loves her California Canine Bandana, she waits in the morning for me to put it on her. Usually soon after she wakes up she goes and stands near where I keep it hung up,,,, I take it off her before bed since I'm one of those Moms that worries all night that it will strangle her or she won't like it.... I can't even let her sleep with a collar on (same reason) So when she wakes up she looks forward to her "clothes", she's even worn this cute scarf with her jacket. It's so cute and full of Christmas spirit. 
The VW Bus with four dogs drives down the road with a bone decorated tree on top headed to the North Pole.. Under the California Canine saying is a line of red and green Christmas gifts it's the perfect "tis the Season" apparel. 
The "Tis the Season Bandana's come in these four colors, baby blue, pink, white and black. All the colors have the same holiday print.
​You can purchase the bandana in small or large.
​The small measures 18.5″ wide & the Large measures 29.5″ wide.
California Canine also has these super cute collars. They are made from a heavy duty nylon red webbing with stitched white ribbon featuring the California Canine “Original” design. The clasp is nice and sturdy and the whole collar is adjustable.
​There's a nice thick ring to hook your leash on and dogs tags. 
The collar comes in 3 sizes, Small 14 inches, Medium 20 inches and Large 32 inches. 
California!  Eureka!  The home of Hollywood, Disneyland, Beaches, Palm Trees, Sun & Surf, Half-Pipe’s and Half Dome’s, Farms that feed the World, and the list goes on!  Gosh it’s great to live here!  So when we were reminded in a real God-moment that we share all of this with our best Canine friends, California Canine was born.
California Canines are different.  Our California Canines are a partying group, and they go everywhere!  It is our hope to share the fun our Canines have in this great state  through the work of our amazingly creative  designers.
We started with the vanguard of our line, the Original California Flag replication where we dumped the bear and placed the Golden Dog for the Golden State of California.  From there, keeping with the state flag design, we moved on to other Canine activities.  As our seasons change (sort of), so will our designs reflecting activities, life-styles, dogs friends, and more.  So watch this site and be the first to wear our new releases as they come available.  Visit our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram sites, or this sites registration page and we will keep you informed as to what our California Canines are up to next!
